Keep Building





In War
...or Peace
the Wrens
still
build their nests

There is much to learn from the wren and their nest building. They will build 5 or 6 nests. Lord help me. We are into church growth but 5 or 6 building programs could kill me! We've already been thru 2 in 17 years.

Jana,
It was what I needed too.

Tracie,
The mother wren puts her whole heart into building her nest for her young just as you and your husband are doing in building are building of a beautiful shelter (nest) for hungry souls.

I needed to read this... thank you.
Right now its as if my "eggs" are were pecked on, those shells are fragile yet.
I'll trust the Lord because I know that one never NEVER forgets what the "real" church feel like, much the more if the Holy ghost has been received.

Catherine,
Strange how Peace and War are so intertwine in our life. However we must trust Him and everything else will be taken care of, in His time.
